SmudgeLab is Social Commentary and Social Expression. Simply put, with SmudgeLab
you can drag-n-drop images and text over any website, publish to your image galleries,
and share with your friends. Would that politician would be more appropriate with
devil horns? You can do it! Think that actress should have a speech bubble professing
her love for you? You can do it. Drag. Drop. Publish. It's that easy.

Where can I use SmudgeLab?

Over any website or just within the SmudgeLab user galleries. It's your choice.
If you just want to see what others have done, then peruse the galleries, give ratings,
and leave comments. If you want to create your own, simply download the plugin
and start Smudging.

The easiest way to find images and user galleries is to use the search bar. Enter
any term or user nickname and search. Another way to find a specific user's gallery
is to use the following URL format: www.smudgelab.com/gallery/<nickname>/ . For
example, if you are searching for your friend "Mark" (his chosen nickname), then
you would enter www.smudgelab.com/gallery/mark as the URL. For random galleries
you can click a gallery thumbnail on the main page for Most Recent, Most Viewed,
and Highest Rated Smudges.

Login to SmudgeLab first. Navigate to the image you want to rate. Click how many
stars you are giving it on the left side, under the image. Done.

How do I leave comments?

Login to SmudgeLab first. Navigate to the image you want to comment. Type in your
comment and voila, you're done.

What is Re-Smudge and how do I do it?

ReSmudging an image means adding additional images or text to an image in a user
gallery. You need to download the plugin to use this functionality. See below for
basic info or check out the tutorial for full info.

Download the SmudgeLab plugin first. Open the sidebar. Navigate to the gallery image
to ReSmudge. Drag, Drop. Done. See the tutorial for step by step info.

Can I create my own overlay images?

Yes. Most definitely. These are called ImagePacks. You need to create the image,
upload it, create a pack out of the image or group of images, then publish. It's
a simple process. See the tutorial for step by step info.

The SmudgeLab tutorials are the best place for step-by-step instructions on every
feature.
